In our last two blogs we learned about our ancient cousins. This week, we explore more recent history. Look back into the past and let us know if any of your ancestors held one of these spooky jobs from history!

Denisovans, a mysterious ancient hominin group, emerged onto the paleontological stage less than 2 decades ago. These enigmatic human relatives lived tens of thousands of years ago, coexisting with both Neanderthals and early Homo Sapiens. As yet we know very little about them, but let's take a look at what we have learned about their lives, and how their DNA still influences us today.

Neanderthals, the enigmatic hominids who once roamed the earth, have captured the imagination of archaeologists and the general public alike. These ancient cousins of modern humans lived in Europe and parts of Asia for hundreds of thousands of years, leaving behind a rich archeological record that has provided valuable insights into their lives, clues about their culture, and hints towards the causes of their eventual disappearance.
